The Choices


- KARINA -

" Dad, where's mom? " I asked, looking around after we entered the house. Dad walked past me. He stood in front facing me with undetermined aura while Minju took my right-side standing steel in appearance yet felt nervous the way she clasped her hands on her back.

"Why don't we sit first baby " gesturing us onto the couch.

" It's alright dad, we won't take long, just want to see mom" as I roamed my eyes again to see even a glimpse of my mom's shadow.

Dad smirked and shook his head as he took his seat. He crossed legs and put his fingers under his chin.

"Hmmm, your mom is not here. "

"What? So, you lied to me?? " My eyes widened.

"Yes, to bring you here—"

" You know what dad? I shouldn't be here, let's go Minju"

"So, you really don't want to be here, is that what you are implying to my face Jimin? this is our house, your home " his voice was stern, and I saw how my dad jutted his jaw.

I faced him once more suppressing my rising annoyance. I couldn't believe he just used my mom's name to bring me home. I took a deep breath and paused a moment longer before speaking again.

"So, what are you planning dad? locking me up here to not see my girlfriend again? " I watched him as he shifted onto his seat, making it more comfortable as he stayed so calm.

He's planning big for sure.

"I thought of that for the first time but to answer your question ohh your allegation rather" he paused smiling sarcastically " NO I won't do it again because I know surely that you're just going to escape with the help of your siblings and my niece here " he indicated Minju with his hand who are listening to our conversation.

"What are you planning, dad? "

"dad " he repeated quietly then his eyes saddened. My heart torn into two with the reason that I caused this feeling to my own father, the father that I truly adore.

"Am I still your father Jimin, my princess? " He looked at me with the kind of eyes that he reserved only for me and the kind of look I really missed.

That moment, the time I heard he called me his princess once again I felt that my tongue was no longer there. I couldn't speak, even composing a word was impossible to do. I want to tell him that of course he's always been my daddy and I'm his only daughter, that I missed him so much and I really do love him but why I couldn't say it and all I feel is I wanted to tear up.

daddy!

"Does that silence mean I am still your father but you're just so mad at me that you couldn't say it? What happened to us, Jimin? You're my baby girl. You know how much I love you. How could you turn out to be like this? "

"I... I'm sorry " my heart totally tore up and my tears got their way to escape from my eyes.

Minju held my hand to comfort me but what I feel was way too heavy right now, this instance that I am in front of my dad who seemed so hurt like I am.

"Sorry won't change everything Jimin, just choose " I looked up to him as I wiped out my tears.

" Choose? what...why am I going to choose?? "

" it's for us, just think of this as an arrangement. "

"What are you saying dad? " My voice cracked.

"Simply choose between us and that idol girl. This would be like this if you choose us as your family, you won't be able to see that woman again and forget everything about her and things will be okay like it was before but if you choose her, then you won't be able to see us. Jaehyun, Irene, Me and your mom and I will cut you out from the family." I creased my eyebrows as my tears rolled down to my face again.

"Are you serious, dad? "

" Do I look like I'm joking here, Jimin? I am giving you choices. "

"This is unbelievable dad " my heart was now shattered and not just torn apart. How could he make me choose??

"I'm not going to choose dad, we're leaving " I hold Minju's arm and pulled her exiting our house.

" Jimin, once you step out from that door it only means you're choosing her over your family. Your mom doesn't know about all of this and what you've chosen to become. I'm hiding it to her afraid that she won't accept it that her only daughter was not she seems to be. "

"Dad." I cried like there was a broken faucet inside my eyes.

Then Jaehyun came and saw me, he ran up to me and was about to hug me when dad shouted at him.

" Jaehyun, DON'T HUG YOUR SISTER SHE'S CHOOSING THAT WOMAN OVER US!" I looked at my brother crying my heart out, that kind of face I know he's not getting what our father was talking to and I couldn't tell it to him. There're no words coming out from my mouth, but he nods and smiles a bit as if he understands me.

He's letting me go and telling me he'll support me, and I know Irene too but my mom. I want to see her.

I stepped out of our house, but it doesn't mean I am just choosing Minjeong because I want my family as well. Both Minju and I climbed in the car and drove away, yet my eyes are still soaking wet.

Minju stopped the car and pulled me to her warmth. She didn't say anything, she just stroked my back until there's nothing for me to cry out to.

~~~

Later that night we got home to Minjeong. She knew the very instant she saw me that there was an awful event that happened to me, she didn't push me to open it up, but she never left me though she needed to fly to London for work, she canceled it. I'm always her priority that she always says to me and lets me feel.

She hugged me the entire night without talking. She was just there, simply lying in the bed comforting me and I am loving her more in everything she does for me, even though it's kind of small and not really like killing someone, I do appreciate her. I do appreciate this woman, the woman that I am very sure I wanted to spend my lifetime with.
